Because Ding Fan helped the people of Hundred Flowers Village eliminate the threat of Thunderbolt, this ti the banquet in the village was even more splendid than before.
Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian, accompanied by the villagers, had a very enjoyable al.
After the banquet ended, Hua Baili arranged the accommodations for the villagers, Ding Fan, and Zhang Shanlian.
Since Hundred Flowers Village had never had outsiders visit, there were no guest rooms available, so they had no choice but to clean up two clean houses of the villagers for Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian to rest.
In the end, Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian were settled in a household at the foot of the mountain. This family went to stay overnight at another villager's ho, while Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian stayed in the two rooms of this household.
After arranging the accommodation, Zhang Shanlian did not choose to rest. Instead, he directly sought out Ding Fan. Naturally, Ding Fan understood why Zhang Shanlian had co to him.
When he saved Zhang Shanlian, he had said that all he did was his duty, and it seed that the other party also wanted to ask him about it in person.
Zhang Shanlian simply exchanged a few irrelevant words with Ding Fan, then abruptly turned the conversation and directly brought up the matter.
"Young friend, do you have any connection with my Spirit Sect?"
Ding Fan did not intend to hide it from Zhang Shanlian. "Do you know of Wen Yizhou?"
Wen Yizhou?
When Ding Fan ntioned this na, Zhang Shanlian's eyes opened wide in shock.
"The number one expert of Spirit Sect hundreds of years ago, whose reputation shook the world, why do you bring up Senior Wen?"
Although Wen Yizhou was not the founding ancestor of Spirit Sect, his prestige within Spirit Sect was far greater than that of its founder.
It is known that when Wen Yizhou presided over Spirit Sect, the sect was at its peak. That year the Immortal Sect intended to control Spirit Sect, but Wen Yizhou, with his own power, firmly supported Spirit Sect. It could be said that without Wen Yizhou, Spirit Sect would not have existed later.
"I must not hide from you, my cultivation today is largely thanks to the inheritance from Senior Wen," Ding Fan did not conceal the truth. He then explained how Wen Yizhou wrapped the inheritance in his soul and eventually passed it to him.
Ding Fan told Zhang Shanlian all these things not just because Zhang Shanlian is from Spirit Sect, but also because, during the day, as Ding Fan entered the thunder zone, Zhang Shanlian gave him a jade pendant, clearly out of concern and wanting to rescue him.
Indeed, Zhang Shanlian could be considered a sincere and benevolent person. Also because of this, Ding Fan thoroughly explained the matter of inheriting from Wen Yizhou.
"What did you say? You actually received the inheritance from Senior Wen?" Zhang Shanlian's face was filled with disbelief.
Ding Fan nodded and then suddenly activated the True Qi within his body, instantly generating a strong aura.
The main purpose of Ding Fan showing his cultivation at this mont was to make Zhang Shanlian believe what he said.
Upon feeling Ding Fan's cultivation, Zhang Shanlian was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth. He knew Ding Fan was powerful, but he hadn't expected Ding Fan to be this formidable.
One could say, Ding Fan's cultivation was probably not far behind his own.
At this point, how could Zhang Shanlian still doubt the matter of Ding Fan inheriting Wen Yizhou's cultivation?
"Destiny... It really is destiny..." Zhang Shanlian murmured at this mont.
Ding Fan, puzzled, looked at Zhang Shanlian. "Destiny?"
Zhang Shanlian looked at Ding Fan and after mulling it over for a mont, he then spoke. "Young friend, the fact that you have such deep ties with my Spirit Sect must be arranged by heaven... Spirit Sect has an annual eting next month, do you have ti to attend?"
An annual eting?
Ding Fan looked perplexed at Zhang Shanlian.
Zhang Shanlian smiled and continued to speak. "The Spirit Sect annual eting, held once a year, mainly involves competitions among the disciples of Spirit Sect, and we will also invite so respected seniors to observe the event."
I see.
Ding Fan recalled that in the Cultivation World, so major Sects also had such annual etings.
"I still have so matters to attend to, but if I resolve them, I can go and take a look," Ding Fan said.
Currently Zhou Ruoran was captured by the Upper Xuan Sect, and the most pressing matter for Ding Fan was to go to Upper Xuan Sect and rescue Zhou Ruoran.
"Could you use my help?" Zhang Shanlian asked.
"If Senior Zhang has ti, then I would indeed be grateful," Ding Fan replied.
Although Ding Fan now had the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, Upper Xuan Sect was still considered the strongest among the Hidden Sects, and having an extra hand was always good.
Afterward, Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian casually chatted for a while.
During the conversation with Zhang Shanlian, Ding Fan found out that the people of Spirit Sect had never known that Wen Yizhou was hard by soone from the Ghost Sect. In their view, Wen Yizhou should have already ascended to another realm...
Because Zhang Shanlian was injured, Ding Fan gave him a Fifth Grade Pill, and then the two parted ways.
After Zhang Shanlian returned to his room, Ding Fan took out the Thunderstone.
Having gone through dangers to obtain this Thunderstone, now that it was deep into the night and all was quiet, it was a good ti to test this treasure's function.
After Ding Fan settled down in a cross-legged position, he directly placed a Foundation Building Pill into his mouth.
This Thunderstone can quickly expand ridians, and while it brings about a rapid improvent in cultivation, it definitely also carries certain damage to oneself.
Therefore, Ding Fan didn't dare to be careless at this mont; first he held a Foundation Building Pill in his mouth, so that if sothing did occur, he could use it to replenish his True Qi.
After finishing the preparations, Ding Fan then cautiously lifted the Thunderstone with both hands.
The size of this Thunderstone was as large as two waterlons.
The locals said that the Thunderstone was a large piece, but in fact, it was not. The Thunderstone was wrapped in so useless waste ore, but even so, such a large Thunderstone was very rare.
After Ding Fan held the Thunderstone in his hands, he began to direct his internal True Qi into the Thunderstone.
As True Yuan was continuously infused, the surface of the Thunderstone emitted bursts of blue light, which was dazzling.
Shua...
At this mont, Ding Fan could distinctly feel a current-like force suddenly surging through his body from inside the Thunderstone.
However, this current was different from ordinary currents; it seed to have its own consciousness and only flowed following the pathways of the ridians.
Ding Fan couldn't help but rejoice.
All things in the world possess their own spirituality. Each item also has its inherent value of existence.
The fact that the lightning within the Thunderstone automatically moved along the direction of the ridians without any guidance showed that this Thunderstone was indeed a treasure. No wonder powerful figures in the Cultivation World regarded this object as a sacred treasure.
At this ti, Ding Fan carefully stimulated the True Qi within his body.
As Ding Fan activated his True Qi, bursts of electric currents kept washing through his ridians. Ding Fan could clearly feel his ridians widening under the impact of these currents.
This made Ding Fan quite thrilled.
In the early stages of Cultivation, the main focus is on expanding the ridians. With the help of the Thunderstone, Ding Fan could clearly feel a significant improvent in his cultivation.
Just when Ding Fan was very pleased with the continuous progress of his cultivation, he suddenly discovered that the newly added ridian running directly from his head to his Dantian had changed.
Instead of widening, that ridian seed to have beco narrower. This puzzled Ding Fan quite a bit.
Firstly, the occurrence of expanding an additional ridian beyond normal was sothing Ding Fan had never heard of before, and moreover, the fact that a ridian could beco narrower was also unheard of.
Furthermore, Ding Fan noticed that the narrower his normal ridians expanded, the narrower the newly added ridian beca.
Eventually, Ding Fan dared not continue using the Thunderstone to expand his ridians.
This was not entirely due to the concern about the narrowing of the newly added ridian, but also because, before reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Ding Fan needed to solidify his foundation.
Advancing too rapidly with the help of the Thunderstone could undermine the foundation, which would pose significant obstacles to his future cultivation.
Ding Fan put away the Thunderstone and stood up.
Unknowingly, a whole night had passed; indeed, there is no concept of day and night in cultivation. If it hadn't turned bright outside, Ding Fan would have thought that only a few minutes had passed...
At this mont, Ding Fan clenched his fists tightly, and a surge of formidable power coursed throughout his body, filling him with great joy. He used his Divine Sense to probe his Dantian, and found that the Golden Core inside had taken on a more defined shape.
The most distinct sign of the Golden Core Stage is the transformation of the Dantian into a Core. After forming the Core, it would tamorphose into a Nascent Soul...
However, shaping the Golden Core is incredibly difficult; so people spend their entire lives failing to form it, yet Ding Fan had used the Thunderstone, and in just one night, the Golden Core had taken shape. This was indeed a stroke of great fortune.
Ding Fan then went to the west room to check on Zhang Shanlian.
Zhang Shanlian had also been busy throughout the night, using his own unique healing dicines and adding the Foundation Building Pill provided by Ding Fan, and now his injuries had significantly improved.
Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian discussed that they both had people with them; Zhang Shanlian had two disciples, while Ding Fan had Mu Zi with him.
Both of them were sowhat uneasy about staying, so they decided to prepare to leave.
Guided by the villagers, Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian found Hua Baili.
When Hua Baili heard that the two were leaving, he initially wanted to convince them to stay a while longer, but seeing their resolute intentions to leave, he could not say much more.
Hua Baili then arranged for so fruits and food to be brought over, before sending Ding Fan and Zhang Shanlian to the village's exit that connects to the outside world.
Ding Fan wanted to give the map of the exit to Hua Baili, knowing that for the past few hundred years, the people of Hundred Flowers Village were trapped mainly because they did not understand formations and could not break the ancestral formation, which is why they could only stay there. That was indeed why Ding Fan wanted to tell Hua Baili the thod of entering and exiting.
But Hua Baili refused Ding Fan's gesture of goodwill.
Hua Baili's reason was quite simple; they had been separated from the outside world for too long, and if others found out about their existence, they wouldn't think about how to integrate them but rather, they might find themselves in crisis.
Hearing Hua Baili's words, Ding Fan nodded in agreent.
In today's world driven by material desires and shallow human relationships, these simple villagers, if they really left here, might indeed live a very difficult life. Rather than that, it's better to live a free and content life as they do now…
